maire-cate, my DH started baking after he retired too....he makes our graham crackers all the time...a healthier alternative to cookies and they are delish, esp with penzey's vietnamese cinnamon. Yum!

Squirrels have been busy getting these nuts of the tree and breaking them open. I assumed they are walnuts but now I'm not sure. I brought these home to put on my balcony for my squirrels.

C and I went to Windsor casino Friday and stayed overnight. 22nd floor. She gets a suite (free) with 2 bathrooms. Mine was huge. It's cool seeing the barges on the river steadily. We were supposed to go on a riverboat cruise but they called Sat morning to say it was cancelled due to high winds. So we gambled some more, headed out around 12:30.

Inching along till the nearest exit where everyone got off. We saw a rainbow though and I came home $300 richer

I saw them on the prairies, seldom this far south, but I remember seeing them once in this area as I was growing up prior to moving to Saskatchewan at 17. ole joyful
